In Spain it is usually only visitors who order their coffee as a Cappuccino, an Espresso, or a Latte Macchiato, If you want to feel like a local, there are four basic types of coffee which you should know:
1. “Café solo” (only coffee) is the equivalent of the Italian “Espresso”.
2. “Café con leche” (Coffee with milk): 50% “Café solo” and 50% milk.
3. “Cortado” is a “Café solo” (Espresso) with a little bit of milk.
4. “Carajillo” is coffee with brandy, whisky, anisette, or rum.
Although, if you don’t fancy any of the above,
you can always order, “Café Americano” which is known as a "Black Coffee" in Northern Europe. It contains more water and is therefore weaker than a “Café solo” .

At a “Cafeteria”, “Bar” and a “Restaurante” you can pay at the counter or at the table, often if you are in a rush you can go to the counter to pay quickly rather than waiting for the waiter. At a “Cafeteria” and a “Bar” it is possible to order on the counter and from the table, however in a “Restaurante” the waiter comes to the table to take the order.
What’s the difference between “Cafeteria”, “Bar” and a “Restaurante”?
- A “Bar” only offers drinks, snacks and the well-known “tapas”.
- A “Cafeteria” offers drinks, snacks, “tapas”, cold food like sandwiches, salads, and sometimes a daily menu.
- At a “Restaurante”, you can find same as above but it is usually a large menu with elaborated meals.

Indefinite articles always precede a noun, the number and the gender of the article must correlate with one of the nouns. For example, “vaso” is masculine and singular then the correct indefinite article will be “un”; “copa” is feminine and singular then the correct indefinite article is “una”.
